C# Parse PDF File
Parsing PDF files is fairly easy. In the code below, we use the ExtractAllText method to extract every single line of text from the entire PDF document. Later on, you can see the side by side of the extracted PDF content, as the output.
:path=/static-assets/pdf/content-code-examples/how-to/csharp-parse-pdf-parse-pdf.csusing IronPdf;
// Select the desired PDF File
PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("sample.pdf");
// Extract all text from an pdf
string allText = pdf.ExtractAllText();
// Extract all text from page 1
string page1Text = pdf.ExtractTextFromPage(0);Imports IronPdf
' Select the desired PDF File
Private pdf As PdfDocument = PdfDocument.FromFile("sample.pdf")
' Extract all text from an pdf
Private allText As String = pdf.ExtractAllText()
' Extract all text from page 1
Private page1Text As String = pdf.ExtractTextFromPage(0)View Parsed PDF Content
We have used a C# Form to show you the parsed PDF content from the code execution above. This output gives the exact text from a PDF so you can use it for your personal or client document needs.
